Every time I hear an 'expert' say reduce, reduce, reduce salt intake I think of the animals that walk for miles to get to a salt lake and I think it's the animals that are the real experts.

You need salt, it has nothing to do with blood pressure. TABLE SALT contains SILICA - GLASS. This glass cuts your arteries, the cholesterol is coating the damage caused by the silica. Sea salt or kosher salt has no SILICA, you need lots of salt.

lol no its incredibly stupid. We aren't animals and comparing our diets to theirs is a fundamental mistake.

I have seen all the interviews with James Dinicolantonio because I find the topics he talks about and also the subject of salt very interesting and this one was undoubtedly the best. You have been the person who has asked him the most variety of questions, you have squeezed him to the fullest, it shows that you also have a lot of knowledge, good job.

Thanks a lot for an outstanding conversation. The subject of salt is not talked about enough and I did learn something today about salt that I did not know before. Information about the the low salt and low fat recommendations from the the late 1970s did in my opinion cause harm to some individuals. The information you presented was very helpful to me. Thanks again for a very helpful presentation. Salt is not talked about enough in terms of it's connection to potassium and magnesium requirements.

Hey thanks for the comment :) Yes I think this topic is so relevant with the rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases. And with the advancements in science which unfortunately translates slowly to the nutritional recommendations even with vast amount of consistent new data

Is it more effective to drink or eat sodium? Or the same. Also is there such a thing as organic iodized salt? If so, what would you recommend? Some salts give me headaches with low consumption (1500mg daily). I think your video will really help my Mom. Thank you both 😊 I love the beach! God bless you, in Jesus name

My muscle cramp has gone completely when I added salt more to my diet . I couldn’t fix it for few years till I found my salt wasn’t enough and I’m on low carb diet for few years . I feel much better with more salt , I love salt 😃

@consciousriverfilms 4 ай бұрын

@@iaminkaland I wound up in the ER or urgent care 10+ times before I found out (on my own) that my low salt, low carb diet was, in fact, crippling my health. I, like many others in the world, thought I was eating "healthy" and remember wondering if it was possible to eat "too" healthy. Found out that "too" healthy was insufficient salt intake for my diet and later found out (since I knew nearly nothing about the different forms of fat and was essentially cutting back on ALL of them) that I was deficient in fat, also. After incorporating salt, my hyponatremia symptoms went away and after learning about and incorporating healthy fats back into my diet, my "accergic" twice a month random swellings that had been happening for nearly 6 months, stopped happening pretty much overnight. I learned that there is a lipid (fat) bi-layer surrounding all our cells and just assumed that having sufficient fat in the extracellular fluids would allow my cells to always have a healthy outer wall and not "leak" lol. Probably the wrong analogy, but it's the only thing that made/makes any sense. The low salt, low fat, drink beyond thirst, etc. ... blanket "health" advice, has been, and will continue to cripple our health until more people learn the motives behind that advice and take the reins of their own health back!

Around 9:45 in the video. So the catacolamines constricting blood vessels and liver creating glucose via gluconeogenesis essentially is the mechanism to raise blood pressure in the absence of sufficient sodium to prepare for fight or flight, right?

@iaminkaland 4 ай бұрын

Yes, that's correct. Catecholamines raise blood pressure by constricting blood vessels and increasing glucose production in the liver, compensating for low sodium and preparing the body for fight or flight.

They told me watch my salt. I didn’t have enough. All my food is clean, whole. Can you just add salt safely after years of struggling desperately from being way under? I’m frightened from all my symptoms actually from being low in salt.

@iaminkaland 5 ай бұрын

Depends on why you should be low salt... If you have medical issues, then it's always a good idea to consult a functional medicine doctor who understands a bit about the real importance of salt-general practitioners are legally obligated to follow government recommendations, but as James DiNic demonstrated, the data is slightly outdated and might not be accurate. James suggests in this episode that 4 g per day of sodium is OK for someone without health conditions and a healthy lifestyle. But this is very individual and has many layers to it, so it's hard to give any specific opinion on your comment. Hope it helps !

Thankyou for this information. I am a whole plant based aging athlete. I have learnt from experience that I need to have at least the RDI for sodium (2000mg). Otherwise my running is sluggish, I get light headed when standing and brain fog. Another factor that seems to be missed is that the RDI for chloride of 3000mg. My doctor asked me did the colour of beetroot go through to my poo. I said yes. He said I didn’t have enough stomach acid. Upping my salt intake fixed this too.

I maybe mistaken but i didn't heaf any elaboration between table salt and pure salt containing all the minerals we need where table salt is stripped of those minerals yet table salt fills the supermarket shelves.
